NUST Alpha participates in the Regulatory Information Retrieval and Answer Generation (RIRAG) shared task. We propose FusionRAG that combines OpenAI embeddings, BM25, FAISS, and Rank-Fusion to improve information retrieval and answer generation. We also explores multiple variants of our model to assess the impact of each component in overall performance. FusionRAG strength comes from our rank fusion and filter strategy. Rank fusion integrates semantic and lexical relevance scores to optimize retrieval accuracy and result diversity, and Filter mechanism remove irrelevant passages before answer generation. Our experiments demonstrate that FusionRAG offers a robust and scalable solution for automating the analysis of regulatory documents, improving compliance efficiency, and mitigating associated risks. We further conduct an error analysis to explore the limitations of our model’s performance.
